It was fine a day ago, nor do I remember it falling this bad.
It has suddenly just gone broke, the rear camera. It's upside down and is blurry. It only supports 2.1MP
The fronts fine, and the rear won't also work with any app except camera apps.
My flashlight is also gone.
I always have a cover on and I don't drop my phone. Maybe it did from 10cms but that doesn't count, I guess.
Tried reflashing rom however no good.
Please help, thankyou.

It's most likely a hardware issue.
Chances to be from software are almost 0, but you can try...

What?
"Tried reflashing rom however no good." quoted from your earlier post.
The way you worded it in that post was that after re-flashing the ROM, it didn't fix your issue.
As @lucyr03 said above, it's probably a hardware issue. It doesn't sound like a software problem, so flashing a ROM wouldn't fix it.
You could try running an RUU (which will wipe everything from your phone and set it up like fresh out of the box), but I really doubt that would help.
Having a hardware issue means that you need parts replaced. Send it for repairs or buy a new phone.

Meant flash light lol sorry
Anyway guess will have to get it repaired...
I recently replaced the Micro USB module on my HTC One M8 and in the process broke the pin that connects the GPS module to the antenna integrated into the rear cover. I managed to 'bodge' a fix for this with a bit of tinfoil to make the connection between the two that I no longer had due to the pin breaking. I noticed earlier that my rear camera and flash was behaving the same as yours and I can only assume I have damaged something in the removal/replacement of the rear cover.
I saw a post from another M8 owner saying they had the same behaviour you describe but when the cover was removed the camera and flash worked normally. They said it was a short somewhere on the camera module to the rear case. They put some non-conductive material between the camera module and the rear case and it fixed the issue.
I am going to take it apart (again...) tomorrow and see if I get the same behaviour and see if I can fix it.

EDIT: Just taken the back off again and the camera behaves the same - i.e. not working properly and I can't see anyting obvious as to what the issue could be. Probably a hardware issue.
I am using the stock OpenGapps so have Google Camera replaces the default Lineage camera and in the settings for this it doesn't even give options for the rear camera.
I have put it back together - looks like its time to order a new phone

I first flashed my Touch Diamond about a year ago and lost the sound. I had a new phone at the time so I just left but I am keen to get it going again for a friend to use.
I followed the steps here (currently forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211) and curently have radio "1.00.25.05" and the SPL is "SPL-1.34.Hard"
It doesn't seem to matter what ROM I flash the sound still doesn't come through the speaker although I've recently noticed that it does work when using the headphones.
I have tried soft and hard resets as well as clearing the internal storage. I've also tried MTTY without much success (total noob there so I could have been doing it wrong).
What else can I try to fix this issue as I've run out of ideas?
Update: HTC startup sound doesn't come through the headphones so it only seems to work once it's booted up.
As i can see I will give you the answer
I've experienced the same problem one year ago...I didn't flashed my phone but I had the same problem..NO SOUND..
So my friend the only thing you have to do is to:
1)just move all your Files to your PC(move them,do not copy them)!
2)hard reset your phone
3)put the files back again in your internal storage
AND YOU ARE READY!!!
I did all of these steps and I solved the problem...give it a try,you don't have to lose something..!
Please let me know if this method will solve the problem...
PEACE

Everything else seems to be working fine. Just the speaker sound isn't working.
Might i suggest you disassemble your diamond and clean the metalic plating both on your speaker and circuit board above.
Here i provide the pdf
I can guarantee this will solve ur problem if the case is just dust and dirt contanimation.
IMPORTANT. While you are cleaning, please DO NOT make any rough cleaning on the circuit boards and especially around the metalic plates
SO essentially what you need to clean is this part ONLY...

So basically you are just going to remove 3 screws and clean the top cover and platings. DONT MESS WITH ANYTHING ELSE.
DISCLAIMER: I do not take any responsibility whatsoever happens from your side, or any other reasons involved.

I can't believe it, that actually worked. It didn't work after I had cleaned but as soon as everything was screwed on again it starting working again. A million thanks to you.

The reason why it started to work as soon as the screws were in place is because, some screws in the device enable the contact between the circuit board and the device components.
This is done by manufacturers to minimize the use of wires and any other "additional" component needed to complete the circuit. Thus they make use of components in the device to their maximum possible to carry out an electric contact or function, be it a screw or anything else EXCEPT the ones you are in direct contact with, like a stylus...
**and nope this is not a class** hehehehe. i m jus sharing my knowledge.
because jus in case one removes a screw and loses it....you can say their devices are really SCREWED NOW!!!!
haha
I just got this thing yesterday from eBay, refurbished from Asus for $209 (32gb) and one of the first things I noticed was a small protrusion from above the microphone jack. Here's my dilemma, I'm really into my electronics looking perfect although I know over time they will have little problems. But is this something to worry about or me just being anal?
I have the opportunity to get it exchanged but it would take a several days and besides being anal I'm not patient.
Thanks in advance.

Well, it's definitely not something that's supposed to be there - I just checked my tablet and it doesn't have that slight lump. The only thing it might possible interfere with would be headphones, and even then there's a really slim chance. Pop in some headphones and see if they work - if they do, there should be no other problems.

I just tested out the headphone jack and it works just fine. So basically it's just an aesthetic issue at this point.
Is it worth going through an exchange for though? Part of me feels as if it has this problem there is a chance it might have others.

For another device I would tell you to get a new one.
But for this tablet...
If you can't find any other issue (dead pixels, random reboot, touchscreen issues grounded or not, etc) you should keep it. The next one could be OK aesthetically but have other problems.

Is there a good way to test if he multi-touch is buggy?

"Yet Another MultiTouch Test" from the play store is a good way to test multi-touch.
If the tablet is in a perfect electrical shape, I would simply keep it. Check the display for dead or stuck pixels, dirt or light bleeding ( though I don´t have anything against it ) and multitouch issues. If the device is usable, I would rather keep it and don´t bother about this dent. The guy who has opened the device before seems to have two left hands though...
its evident that it may have been opened (not sure for what). but as mentioned above, if all works great, no issues at all, just use and enjoy it. other units have issues, and risky to get those to replace a perfectly good one (aside from that bump).
My note 3 smn900t has a blur on the frobt facing camera ive always had a case on and there are no scratch or cosmetic damage marks on the camera i removed the case and it stilk occured i thought it might be a software issue so i wiped and reibstalled the rom i use....its stilk there...anyone know what this could be?

The blackened area is the "blur" i am reffering to .
That's a design feature. Just like if you open the built in browser, and close all tabs, you will see the same thing. There's nothing wrong with it.

Is there any way to remove it? ...it shows up on all pictures taken with the front facing camera and its kind of annoying.
I may of misunderstood you. I thought you only saw it when the camera was open, and not in an actual picture. Can you post an actual picture to see exactly what it looks like? Maybe your lens is dirty. Like something is smudged on it?
I double checked the lens is clean and there are no scratch marks or cosmetic damage anywhere on my phone...the picture above is what it looks like
Actually I have seen some people complain about piece of plastic inside a phone moves out of position and partially covers the lens, which does look like what you have. Look close under good light, maybe you can see it? If this is the case, either watch youtube video how to open the phone and DIY, or send it to Samsung for fix. If that's not it, then maybe some internal fault with camera, so again Samsung warranty repair or you could buy replacement camera for something like $10-$15 and replace yourself if warranty is not an option.

Ended up being covered by samsung warranty. Took my n3 into the t mobile store and they replaced it. Got a new n3 now. Thanks for the help.
Hi,
I bought my Nexus 5X in December, and i was using it with the stock software from Google (locked BL, unmodified, unrooted)(6.0.1 MMP29Q) because i didn't have USB C-A cable and everything was fine.
2 Days ago, i got the cable, and i unlocked the bootloader, rooted the device, and flashed a custom rom (namely Cataclysm)(6.0.1 MMP29P), and everything was still fine, but today, i was shooting some pictures with the camera, and i noticed a black dot in the view, i thought it's dust on the lens, and i tried wiping the lens (from the outside) but it didn't work.
I did some research on the issue, and i found out that many Nexus device users have faced the same problem with previous devices (Nexus 4, Nexus 5), and most feedback says that the problem appeared after updating the camera app, or updating the android version, but there's no actual solution to the issue, since most of the users chose to get a replacement phone.
Demo of the problem:

I posted the images in full size to notice that the dot isn't completely black, it's kinda transparent, on the blue wall, you notice that you can still see the pattern of the paint through the dot.
Things i tried
Wiping the lens from the outside
Uninstalling the camera app updates
Changing the resolution of the camera
Installing another camera app (Open Camera)
Unrooting/Flashing Stock Factory Image
Also, when i zoom in the dot goes out of the screen, it moves with the zoom.
Anyone has any idea what could be done apart from sending the phone back to the retailer? because my phone will have to cross countries to get there and come back :|
Probably there is something that stick to the inner sideof lens?

Thanks mate, but i'm keeping that as a last resort (as mentioned in the post, the phone will have to cross countries to be replaced, and that will take a lot of time).
I still have hope in finding a solution, or for a miracle to happen and the dot to disappear suddenly just like it appeared.
and i still have till next December for the warranty to end, so i'll hope a little longer for now

If all else fails you could try to find just the camera flex cable, probably has more attached to it, and either replace it yourself or have someone do that for ya. They aren't too hard to replace but haven't opened this phone up yet.
I had the same thing happen to my N4. Although I couldn't see it, there was some kind of speck on the camera lens. I never did anything about it because it was outside of warranty, and I didn't want to open the phone up.
I returned my first 5x for the same reason, although I couldn't see it on the picture yet. This time, I could physically see the speck of dust just outside of the range of the lens. I didn't want to risk it migrating into view just after the warranty expires.
Most likely, it's coincidence that it happened at the time that you flashed a ROM. If you want to be 100% sure, go back to stock to see if it's still there. The issue that you were referring to that happened to others was more of a black bar, which happened to my N4 if I used the most updated camera app.
So my sd slot was messed up so I took it to get repaired, the guy fixed it but now wifi and bluetooth don't work properly. It only works when I'm extremely close to the router/bluetooth device and even an inch or two away and it disconnects. Is there any way I can fix this myself, or anywhere I can take it to to get fixed? I've tried but the guy I took it to had no idea how to fix it. I read knocking near the rear camera fixed it for some people, but I've tried that and it doesn't seem to work, and since I'm assuming the guy physically broke it somehow I doubt it's a software issue. Thanks.
Did he connect everything properly?. The WiFi and Bluetooth, I believe, are one in the same chip, or at least on the same board.
It could be a case of replacing the board but if it works close to the router then I'd say that maybe there's a problem with the antenna, if there is one. If there isn't I'd blame the cable supplying the power to that board..
The m9 is notoriously difficult to work on and it is VERY likely the repair was accidentally botched. The new problem is asking someone else to investigate and repair it properly. Don't tell the new guy it was buggered by someone else or he probably won't touch it.

I fixed it myself! I opened up the phone as a last resort basically to see if even my noob eye could detect anything, and I think I got what happened. There were two cables that were disconnected and I simply plugged it in and it worked. Thanks man.
